closeddpdk: Analyze hugepage allocation on startup more thoroughly

Description
The current analysis of allocated hugepages only works with /proc/meminfo
However this proved insufficient if hugepages are allocated through dpdk-hugepages script and the size of hugepages is not of the default hugepage size.
If the default hugepage size is 2 MB and the user allocates 1 GB hugepages then these are not shown in the /proc/meminfo output. However, DPDK applications work just fine.
Current limitation:
- no limitation in functionality
- the user sees a message stating that Hugepage_Total is zero while Suricata runs.
